From burning forests and melting glaciers to acidic oceans, people across Canada's Pacific coast are living with the realities of climate change, and this film shows what's at stake if we fail to get BEYOND headlines and into the heart of the issues...

A timely, touching and hopeful documentary, Beyond Climatelooks at the collective wisdom and perspectives of Indigenous leaders, local communities, scientists, and policymakers. It connects the larger patterns of climate change with the human dimension, and what it looks like across B.C., from the top of the mountains to the orchards and hillsides of the Okanagan, to the depths of the oceans. The film shows that all Canadians are being impacted by, but also finding solutions to, climate change.
